Sydney's biggest celebration of pride and diversity is back, and it's bigger, bolder, and more euphoric than ever. The 49th Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Festival will light up the city from 13 February to 1 March 2026, inviting everyone to step into ECSTATICA - a world where joy becomes movement and celebration becomes power.
Over 20 days, Sydney will pulse with queer energy through an incredible lineup of theatre, music, parties, talks, and community events, all leading up to the iconic Mardi Gras Parade on Saturday 28 February, when Oxford Street transforms into the beating heart of LGBTQIA+ pride.
